Featuring four days of the finest seafood and farm fresh ingredients, the festival attracts epicureans from across the country to enjoy all Martha’s Vineyard and the Northeastern United States has to offer. Details of the Grand Tastings, Seminars, Chef Demonstrations, and Exclusive Private dinners will be announced at a later date. Interested parties can sign up to be the first to purchase tickets at: MVFoodandWine.com.
The MV Food and Wine Festival roared back to life in October 2023 with a broad selection of thoughtfully curated Culinary Experiences, Private Dinners, and Grand Tastings featuring top chefs on the island and beyond. Every event sold out weeks in advance. For 2024, the wildly successful event will move to the start of the summer and greatly expand its programming, so guests can celebrate the beautiful weather on the Island, and allow more chefs and restaurants to participate.
“Last year was a giant success for the festival and the island,” said Adam Epstein, founder of the Vineyard Arts and Culture Foundation. “This was our first Food and Wine since 2019, and the Island wel-comed us back with open arms. Now we want to do more to showcase all that the culinary communities of Martha’s Vineyard and New England have to offer. Together, this unique mashup will make this an Island wide celebration of the culinary arts the only Food & Wine Festival to attend on the Eastern Seaboard.”
The festival is a partnership between the Vineyard Arts and Culture Foundation, the producer of the popular Beach Road Weekend Music Festival in Vineyard Haven, Innovation Arts & Entertainment, an industry leader producing hundreds of unique live entertainment experiences annually across North America, and a21, leader in producing culinary events across the country, with shows in over 40 markets including Atlanta Food & Wine Festival, Whiskies of the World Tour, Heritage Fire Tour and more.
